via George Mattson:"I just completed this unit. The customer has been coming over twice a week since last November to learn about synthesizers and build his own system.
The case is his design.
The system incorporates two voice chains and a variety of CV modules. We built a prototype HandyCon CV controller and developed an interface for seven M-Audio expression pedals. The pedals are in one half of the case and fold up onto the system to make a nice carrying case.
He uses a Roland Bass pickup on his 5-string Warwick bass to drive a Roland GR-20 guitar synthesizer. The MIDI output of the GR-20 drives the MIDI/CV controller on the MMM. While playing he can output the straight bass audio, bass audio processed through his effects pedal board, the GR-20 synth sounds and the MMM patches. The M-Audio pedals can pretty much be patched up to control any of his synth CV or audio parameters. The system also contains an Amplitude Follower module that can be used to further control patch parameters.
I’m really excited to see (hear) what he creates."http://mattsonminimodular.com/
Maybe a link to Jasons site so we can hear what he comes up with?
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy George is back in the synth building business. Very cool, unique application, and the case looks fantastic. Nice going!
ReplyDeleteThose m-audio pedals are not going to last, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteMine have stood up real well for about 3 years now.
ReplyDeleteIf the M-Audio pedals do give out, they are all held in place with a few strips of Velcro (hook side on the board of course) for easy removal/replacement. I can only hope that M-Audio doesn't change the dimensions of their pedals, or, rather, that the pots they utilize can be swapped out if the need arises.
ReplyDelete@Dave - I don't have a site with audio unfortunately. I tend to invest more in things that make sound rather than things that record it. Maybe some day that will change.
